Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 70%Sativa 30%

Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

About Dumpster

This is a clone-only strain found mainly in central Ohio, though it's been known to travel outside of Columbus. Known for it's compact, dense, resin-soaked buds, dumpster is light green in color and smells of sweet berries, skunk and earth. The smell carries over into the flavor with hints of berry and earthy spiciness. The indica-dominant effect can be described as heavy, relaxing, and intense; great for movie watching or winding down the evening. It's a strain that seems to be spider-mite resistant to a degree, but susceptible to mold due to the high amount of resin (growers - keep those fans running). It's grows very well and compact in dirt and tends to stretch a little in hydro, though the end product seems to be very similar in quality and finish in 60 days. Growers can expect medium-high yields from this strain depending on conditions. The origin of this strain is muddled in urban-legend and lore, but the common thread between all stories describe a plant that was saved from a dumpster. Some say it was a scrapped cultivation project run by a professor from the university, some say it was just a guy trying to avoid arrest. Either way, it was 25+ years ago and the strain is st
